I recently migrated to xfinity to bundle both internet and mobile. Let's see how it goes vs Verizon...
For billing, xfinity internet and xfinity mobile get billed separately but not sure how they will get coded, especially if using US Bank Cash+ (xfinity mobile is in the cellphone provider category, but I cannot find xfinity in the internet provider category).
Xfinity internet seems to give 10$ discount, if using autopay with ACH (checking). So, it seems that the optimum way to cover both bills would be ACH for xfinity internet and Cash+ for xfinity mobile.
Let's discuss the best ways to manage internet, mobile and streaming billing.

were you getting bad coverage with verizon? I think they both use the same network, along with US Mobile, if you wanted another alternative for verizon coverage.
is the autopay discount for Xfinity only when you ACH from checking? I should go check mine.
My auto pay is scheduled to a CC and I still get the $10 discount
Some months ago, Xfinity internet increased prices and it is almost a monopoly provider here (AT&T speed at my location is limited). So, to do some saving, I did bundling of internet and mobile. I also got one mobile device for free to join xfinity mobile. Since it uses Verizon infrastructures, its coverage should be the same.
The xfinity internet discount can be 5$ or 10$, if using autopay and paperless (possibly depending on location). Here is what I saw (Bay area):
- $10 for bank payments (ACH).
- $5 for credit card payments.
I really haven't worried about this since I got my Chase Ink Cash card good lawd 8 years ago. All phone and Internet from any provider as I started my migration across the country, never had an issue getting 5% on, and at least at the time you could just claim SP and call it a day as far as your business went since it is a PG card.
Streaming is a different ballgame which I haven't sorted, I generally just drop them on random cards I'm trying to keep open through activity; I probably should reconsider how much of a charge is worth optimizing for.
I have Xfinity internet and Xfinity mobile and use my Elan MCP for auto payments. I also have Acorn and BritBox streaming channels directly. I've selected Utilities and TV/Internet/Streaming 5% categories. My monthly Internet and streaming charges code for the 5%. In previous months I have selected the 5% cell phone providers and they also coded as expected. Since my Amex BCP will not code these streaming services as US services, I moved them to the Elan MCP card and just allow the mobile charges to provide 1% as that monthly bill generally never exceeds $15.

I been eyeing on this card and the USbank Cash+.
I told my mom to get Cash+ because Xfinity (coax/internet) and ATT (phone) is basically 5% to help her.
While I have some time before I decide, I happen to notice that the ink cash card's website says nothing about cell phone protection compared to Chase Flex card. Is the ink cash still worth looking into?
